Ingredients

1 pound ground turkey (breast meat only will make it lowest in fat)

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons fennel seeds (divided)

1 teaspoon cracked black pepper (divided)

1 teaspoon crushed red pepper (divided)

2 teaspoons Italian herb seasoning (divided)

1 Tablespoon white wine

4 scallions, chopped

3 medium carrots, chopped

2 celery stalks, chopped

8 garlic cloves, chopped (divided)

1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil

8 cups chicken stock

2 28-ounce cans whole tomatoes

1 1/2 cups green lentils, rinsed

3 cups baby spinach leaves

Directions

First, make the turkey sausage by mixing into the ground turkey meat half of the spices and garlic and the white wine. (You can cook a tiny bit to taste and add more spices if you like.)

Let turkey sausage sit while you prepare the vegetables so the flavors can come together.

Saute scallions, carrots and celery in oil until translucent but not brown.

Add remaining garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Add turkey and brown it, breaking it up into clumps.

Add chicken stock and tomatoes to pan, breaking tomatoes up into chunks with your hands.

Add remaining spices.

Add lentils and simmer for 45 minutes or until lentils are cooked.

Add spinach leaves and stir.

Taste and correct seasonings.
